The par five 6th hole at King’s North known as “The Gambler” might be one of Myrtle Beach golf’s most recognizable holes. It’s the perfect example of a risk-reward hole. Do you go for the island fairway and take a chance to reach this par five in two, or the conservative approach by hitting to the fairway? (Which is not an easy tee shot by any means ) We asked the followers of our Facebook page Myrtle Beach Golf at MBN.com for some comments about their experience in playing this hole:
Birdied this hole!! Took the risk and drove to the island fairway!! ~Ryan via Facebook

I hit my drive into the island but then my second shot went into the water anyway~mikemcfadds via Instagram
Biridied it and island green par 3 12th in same round~splus11 via instagram
The 2nd shot from the island is more difficult than the 2nd shot from the regular fairway. You have zero angle from the island~ascottpex via Instagram
Played this course over 20 years ago! Need to go back to Myrtle!~chads44 via  Instagram
My husband and I both birdied the Gambler first time playing it.. guess we both got lucky lol~Laurie via Facebook
Out of our group of eight, only two finished the hole, we will get it next time!~Ethan via Facebook
Played it the conservative way, still hit it into the water on my second shot, not playing conservtive next time~William via Facebook
I think it&#8217;s harder to hit the straight-away fairway then the island fairway~James via Facebook
It&#8217;s the second shot that will get you every time on this hole, not the tee shot~Jesse via Facebook
So many great holes on this course I wouldn&#8217;t put this one in the top five but it gets talked about the most~Ed via Facebook
